International Galapagos Tour Operators Association Assists Nonprofit in Cargo Inspection / Quarantine Work To Secure Healthy Biodiversity on Archipelago
The International Galapagos Tour Operators Association (IGTOA) is providing funds to a leading nonprofit organization which assists quarantine protocols and inspections of cargo at ports of departure for the endangered archipelago.
This work is conducted primarily at Ecuador's marine port city of Guayaquil. Introducing diseases and non-native plants, animals and insects is one of the greatest threats to the islands’ biodiversity.
